Family Cleared in Nancy Guthrie Disappearance Amidst Suspicion
17 Feb
Summary
- Sheriff cleared Guthrie family as suspects on February 16, 2026.
- Former FBI agent calls family's clearance premature.
- Public remains suspicious of son-in-law Tommaso Cioni.
On February 16, 2026, the Pima County Sheriff's Department officially cleared Nancy Guthrie's entire family, including her daughter Savannah Guthrie's husband, Tommaso Cioni, of any suspicion in her disappearance. Sheriff Chris Nanos stated the family were victims and had been completely cooperative.
This clearance, however, has drawn criticism. Former FBI Special Agent Jonathan Gilliam deemed the announcement premature, suggesting that investigators might still lack complete knowledge to definitively rule out family members. Journalist Megyn Kelly also questioned the swift change in official statements, finding the clearance bizarre without new case updates.
Despite the sheriff's reassurances, public speculation persists, particularly surrounding Tommaso Cioni. He and his wife, Annie Guthrie, were the last individuals to see Nancy before she disappeared from her Tucson home on January 31, 2026. Online scrutiny remains high, fueled by earlier reports labeling Cioni a 'prime suspect'.
